The camera car was a slightly modified Evolution. See how fast the bigger-badder Evo pulls away.

Here’s a short documentary showing the build-up and road testing of a twin turbo Ford GT that aims to put out about 1000 horsepower to the wheels. The owner wanted a car he could drive and race on the street. The result is two Garret G35 ball bearing turbos replacing the stock supercharger. They use the Ford air-water intercooler, but have to fabricate plenty of custom parts to make it all work. It shows a road test with about 820 RWHP / 700+ RWTQ toward the end of the video:

A turbocharged E46 BMW M3 races a supercharged LS1 Camaro on the freeway. It’s dark and loud, but the end is pretty neat:

Off-topic, but pretty neat.

1) Do it in the snow to cushion your landing.
2) Drive fast enough to really get some hangtime.
3) Use the right horn.

Added: This VW bus is pretty nuts, too:

Back in my younger years I was a bit of a trouble maker. I raced on the streets of California and generally acted like an irresponsible kid because well, I was one. I stopped many years ago but around that time I created this compilation video. I forgot I had pieced it together until I found a whole DVD packed full of car videos in my old folder. I’m posting this online for the first time now.

The quality sucks (some of this footage was from 1999 or 2000, and at the latest early 2002) and most of this may not look very exciting, but there’s some pretty fun stuff that reminds me of my early days with cars and as a teenager. I was either driving, filming, or witnessed every video here, and know every person in every clip. For example, my Talon appears quite a bit (it ran mid-13s around this time), including a few passes at the Famoso raceway. There’s one where I’m racing a really loud Honda and I barely nudge it out at the end getting the win light. I was also driving my friend’s black 911 Turbo in the clip against a 13-second Ford Focus.

The very last clip in this video is in-car of my first night at the drag strip. On this run, my boost was higher than it was supposed to be and my upper intake hose blew-off mid-run. The car coasted through the traps and stalled. I thought I had blown up my motor. I echo the words “Something’s dead dude” before the video fades out. Ahh, memories.

Since I made this many years ago the editing quality is not top notch so please don’t hold it against me. Enjoy!
